TTC Feb 2023

@Caths456 sorry I didn’t send my message! It must be an ident if you have had your period and also have had a negative since. Have you used a frer to test since or just the cheapies? Sorry for all this it’s such a rollercoaster and can’t be nice all the uncertainty.

i would do some more tests in the morning, get some frers or a clearblue in to be sure as they’re more reliable?

@smldnlove i am freaked out now that I know someone else can see it. How can it even be possibly though? Are those tests reliable.

Completely understand, so sorry. Wishing you all the best and hope to hear from you soon xx

Thanks ladies. I am going to leave this thread though cos I’m just finding things a bit triggering. Congrats and good luck to you all

You and me both!! It has to be just an indent?
I had a painful bright red period from April 12th to April 16th.
Since then I’m having back pain/ cramps and had some horrible bouts of diarrhoea. But last night, and this evening too I have had nausea. I figured it’s a bug but I just did the test on a whim and knew it shouldn’t be positive and then this came up?

i did another which was negative but that was after a full day of drinking water etc.

it makes no sense? It has to be an indent!! I’ll attach same test in diff lighting.

@Caths456 im confused by your period though? Was it bright red and heavy you say? When was this?

@Tryingtobe123 Oh gosh so sorry I missed this, really gutted for you and wishing you all the strength at time. Hope you are healing my love!

@Strawb28 @Caths456 Thank you! It’s a whirlwind, still very early and only 5 weeks. No symptoms whatsoever apart from bigger boobs! I feel absolutely fine! I can’t quite believe it as I feel great in myself.

and that is a positive test!!! I see your line very clearly there!! Congratulations! What dpo are you??

@Tryingtobe123 I am so sorry to hear this my love. I hope you’re doing okay.

@smldnlove congratulations! How are you feeling?

can you guys see a lime on this? I can’t figure it! I had a period, it was particularly more painful than normal. But I’ve been feeling really crampy and nauseas these past few nights. I can’t make sense of it. I’m just imagining a line am I?

@smldnlove omg!!!! I am so so delighted for you! What a wonderful surprise! How are you feeling? Any symptoms?

@Tryingtobe123 i am so sorry for your loss :( I'm sure you are heartbroken 💔

I'm 5dpo today. Not feeling much hope for this month again lol.

Sorry. Yes I had a miscarriage

congrats on your positive 💖

Oh god guys, it’s happened. The one month we only DTD once in my fertile window as our wedding is in 7 weeks!!! 🙈🙈💕💕 I’m really scared!

@Tryingtobe123 oh gosh so sorry to hear this, that sounds really traumatic for you. Everything crossed for you, I do see stories of this happening and things being fine so please don’t lose hope. Are you going in tomorrow for a check up? Any more updates on how you’re feeling?

@Strawb28 only 6w 4d so really early, I’ve passed some really
big clots and all my pregnancy symptoms have gone now. Plus having a good bit of pain. I have lost hope but I’m weirdly feeling more content now I’ve started passing big clots and it’s consistent bleeding rather than stopping and starting - that was stressing me out so so much more

@Tryingtobe123 omg I am so sorry to hear this 😢 how many weeks are you? I know it's scary but don't lose hope just yet.

Hi ladies

Unfortunately bad news I think here. Started bleeding yesterday and I am now having clots.

pregnancy unit won’t see me as it’s over the weekend so have to wait for the EPU to open tomorrow.

i haven’t got a good feeling about this though

@FamilyofTwo ohhh exciting times. Keep us updated!! Hope it goes well for you. I'm 29, 30 next month and I've been trying since July with one chemical in October x

@FamilyofTwo Hi! Welcome to the chat! Have you done much testing up to 13 dpo? Any signs or tests today? Fingers crossed for you!!!

There are a few different threads on here where 35+ TTC mums have been chatting yes, I’ll have a look and share some if you like. Not sure the ages of us few here but I’m 29 and TTC #1 and also getting married in 8 weeks! Crazy time…

think I’m also out this month @Caths456 heres yesterdays test on an early response cheapie test. 9dpo today..

Hi all

Ttc First baby 👶 Started last month. I'm 38 and currently awaiting AF. 13dpo and hoping for a BFP.

First time on these forums.

Any stories of ladies that are older ttc?

@smldnlove waiting and hoping that this is your month!! I'm CD13 I'm not doing any lh testing or anything this month. I've just started calorie deficit and excercise to shift some weight before really getting back into it. Just having a not preventing attitude at the minute!! X

@smldnlove yeah I know! According to flo im due my period Friday I have a 14 day ish Luteal phase, we used pull out on ovulation day and day after, don’t know why I’m torturing myself but it’s made me think maybe I do really really want a third.
I have a 2 year old since Sunday and my little girl will be 1 in 5 weeks time.

@Caths456 Its so hard yeah it’s like we are torturing ourselves!! Hmmm I can’t quite there but to be honest even 12dpo is still technically too soon so I wouldn’t count yourself out. When do you expect AF?

@smldnlove in the same boat as you! I reckon I’m 100% not pregnant! Took an Amazon cheapie too and could swear I saw the faintest line but at 12 DPO or so I would expect a. More obvious now. It’s so hard isn’t it.

Sorry yes it didn’t attach! Here. I know I’m being stupid doing this. I’m gonna wait now till Friday, it’s so hard! Ahhhh

can’t see anything there tbh

@smldnlove can you show us the original

7 DPO is so so early! Don’t be disheartened if you’re getting negatives now. Wait 3 days and test!
